Great for first-time buyers

Great for first-time buyers

Sam and Ilse were great to work with, especially for first-time buyers like my husband and I. From the first house visit, they had resources on hand explaining the parts of the home-buying process. They were also very generous with their time and happy to answer all of our questions. At every step of the way, they did a great job of communicating what we could expect – even proactively checking in before the auction and before settlement to make sure we knew what was coming next. We cannot recommend them enough, and we would love to work with them again.

A highly professional team with a wealth of experience. Competent and hard working for the vendor.

Ilse and Sam were instantly relatable and their team work and respect for each other is definitely a key to their success. Their communication skills were excellent as we were kept informed throughout the whole process. In the initial stages of preparing to market our property we had a couple of setbacks due to family health issues and Ilse and Sam were both empathetic and supportive despite having to delay their marketing plan on 2 occasions. Their knowledge of the local market gave us great confidence in knowing they would successfully sell our property. They are highly organised without a day going by they didn't communicate with us. Thankyou so much for your hard work.

Very satisfied with sale

Ilse and Sam are both highly professional and very knowledgeable. They provided extensive recommendations how best to prepare the property for the sale, and the campaign ended in a successful sale within a few weeks time. I was regularly updated regarding interested parties and their buying intentions and price feedback of the property. They were very helpful to close the sale, and very understanding of the situation of all parties involved. I can recommend both without reservation.

Awesome service start to finish

Ilse and Sam really are a dream team. They made selling our long-term family home simple, fast and stress-free (vital for our Mum who is leaving the property after nearly 30 years). Ilse and Sam were always available and put in a real shift for us in delivering an awesome online listing and video, stress-free open houses and even personally pounding the local streets to ensure leaflet drops were done. Can’t recommend highly enough,

From the moment I first met Sam Arabi, I was impressed. Her extensive knowledge and proactive approach to the real estate sales experience has been outstanding, and I would not hesitate to recommend her professional services when it comes to selling your house. Sam is honest and forthright, with an energetic and engaging personality; she is thoroughly charming. Every interaction with her and the wider Harcourts sales team has been positive and enjoyable. We achieved an excellent sales result. I could not be a happier vendor!

Moving and shaking to achieve first home purchase

If you are looking for a proactive, genuine and speed to market you need Sam on your side. Sam was able to assist with access to the home and giving us confidence in getting us into our first home. She made sure the process and paperwork was handled diligently and efficiently so we could focus on putting our best foot forward. Honestly, we achieved our first home dream with a great contribution from Sam going above and beyond - Going to miss our exchanges of properties and viewings.

Outstanding Result from local Hauraki Agents

I recently had the pleasure of working with Ilse Evans and Rozina Gardner during the sale of my home and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for their support. From the beginning, Ilse and Rozina demonstrated professionalism while creating a warm and friendly atmosphere. They helped me to feel at ease throughout the process, providing constant updates and feedback that reassured me every step of the way. I believe the dedicated effort by Ilse and Rozina led to the successful sale of my home, and I am genuinely happy with the outcome. I wholeheartedly recommend Ilse and Rozina to anyone looking for real estate professionals who are not only skilled but also compassionate and understanding.
